Banana Snickerdoodle Bars

Banana Snickerdoodle Bars – Use up those over ripe bananas to make these Snickerdoodle Bars. All the flavor of a Snickerdoodle cookie, in the form of a bar!

I always have bananas sitting on my counter that need to get used up. At least it seems that way. I am not sure why I always buy so many, thinking we will eat them all, and then 1 or 2 just sit there. Needless to say, I am always looking for a different way to use up those over ripe ones. Sometimes I just throw them in the freezer for later, but other times I get ambitious and want to bake something with them right away! These Snickerdoodle Bars have to be my son’s favorite. He pretty much loves anything that involves cinnamon, so I knew these would be a huge hit with him.

In place of the canola or vegetable oil I used Mazola® Corn Oil in this snickerdoodle bar recipe. Mazola® Corn Oil is great for baking because it has a neutral taste, so it doesn’t cover up the flavor you are cooking with. You can also use it when sautéing or cooking too. It has a high smoke point, so it won’t burn on you. Also did you know that corn oils have more cholesterol-blocking plant sterols than other cooking oils? In fact, it has 40% more than canola oil. Fits in perfectly with February being Heart Health Month.

My dad had triple bi-pass surgery about 7 years ago. So heart health is something meaningful to me. My family, my dad especially, has changed a lot about eating and exercising over the last 7 years. When I find an ingredient I can swap, in place of an unhealthy one, I am always excited. Especially when it doesn’t change the taste of what we are used to. Please take a moment to read the infographic below about the benefits of cooking with corn oil and don’t forget to check out the Mazola Heart Healthy Library for lots more recipes!

I made these over the weekend for Easter, and they were a hit. I found a recipe for homemade cinnamon chips, which was a fun pre-baking project. I made the bars with vegetable oil, in case anyone is wondering about substitution, and it worked beautifully.
